On our first and last non-workshop day we had a meeting with the Minister of Culture. Since we got here we were told about this meeting. We were informed that although the Minister would like to meet us, she was very busy and the meeting might last between 10 to 15 minutes. That was understandable since she was in charge of all the City Day activities. She started the meeting by telling us how her interests lie in the collaboration with culture, business, government and other cities and countries worldwide while using the talent and resources that Krasnoyarsk has to offer. I liked what I was hearing and immediately liked her. Long-story-short this very informative exchange lasted an hour and ended with invitations to a ballet and other performances as well as the promise that we will find a way to work together. I guess I didn't have to eat that luck ticket after all.
